Our lives depend on trust; the food we eat and the water we drink supply our survival and well-being. We trust that cars stop at the red light and allow others to pass. Without having faith in others or the system, we become stiff, tense, and suspicious of everything. Overprotected children, as young as 14 months old, grow anxious around strangers.
Danger provokes primal physical reactions, such as sweating, an increased heart rate, and elevated adrenaline levels in the blood, known as the fight-or-flight response. In some cases, anger can spur constructive change, but fear causes paralysis. The sense of dread prevents constructive reasoning, thinking, and the capacity to plan or act. “Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is,” says the German proverb. Fear shoots down every opportunity for help.
The impending instability of fear triggers a constant and futile search for security in the environment. The thoughts of vulnerability kill the likelihood of success. Presenting your story as a failure and hopeless case will manifest itself as a failure in real life. The perceived difficulty can trigger fear and procrastination regarding the subject matter. Inaction is a sure way to cement immobility, indecision, and helplessness.
Trust, like a chandelier, provides a complete, coherent picture. In contrast, fear is like a flashlight; it focuses on a small, highly detailed section of reality. Try to recognize fear in yourself. Whenever fear influences your decisions, take action! As jumping into cold water cures timidity, the most effective way to eliminate fear is to start a meaningful activity. The intimidating and often nervous first step generates familiarity, which is profoundly empowering. Because fear is a paralyzing tightness of pressure, almost any small but decisive action pierces its hold and automatically and instantaneously diminishes the fear response. Defeating fear in this way boosts confidence. Doing this exercise will not only increase your fear resistance but will also reformulate your life.
Abused and neglected dogs can be effectively rehabilitated by introducing a daily feeding and walking schedule. Creating order is a powerful stress eliminator for people, too. Children thrive on the predictability and organization of their lives. Maintaining order in the environment helps balance and calm the mind. Create order in your surroundings by organizing your daily, weekly schedule into a regular, predictable routine, which gives a profoundly empowering sense of control.
